Let’s start the new year with a commitment to fixing our things rather than throwing them away.
At the repair cafe, we repair clothing, small electrical items like lamps and toasters,
At the repair cafe, we pair you with an expert fixer who can take a look at your item, help you diagnose the problem, and most likely fix it! You can learn some repair skills as you watch. It’s very rewarding to give your item a new life, keep it out of the landfill, and learn something new.
Join us this Saturday at the workshop next to Heart of Cartm’s store from 3-5. Sign up at the website, so we will be expecting you.

AGAINST THE CURRENT: FATHER TOM ODDO AND THE NEW AMERICAN CATHOLIC covers the In the wake of Stonewall and the Second Vatican Council. Father Oddo paved the way for those seeking a space where faith and identity could coexist. He co-founded DignityUSA at just 29 years old, positioning himself as a key figure in the fight for civil rights. By 38, he became President of the University of Portland, a rising academic star poised to transform higher education.
A tragic car accident cut his life short at 45, but his story and his legacy continue to impact the course of the Church today.
In Against the Current, Tyler Bieber presents a compelling biography based on intimate interviews, personal archives, and never-before-seen documents. The book explores encounters with celebrities, politicians, and Pope John Paul II while diving into themes of hope, resilience, and loss. It reveals a forgotten chapter of American history, a story of courage within the confines of tradition, and a meditation on redemption, identity, and the future of Catholicism.
We will discuss Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP)’s recent publication of the State of the Bays and staff will be present for you to ask questions and get plugged into opportunities to engage in the conservation of our estuaries! Collage and craft supplies provided.

This month’s story is Knight Owl by Christopher Denise. Owl has always dreamed of being a knight. Children will hear how Owl’s wish comes true and the problem he faces once he is keeping watch over the castle. Beautiful illustrations and Owl’s adventure will be sure to captivate children and adults alike. The story will be accompanied by trumpet player, Scott Wagner. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the trumpet and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.
The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and Seaside Library. For more information visit North Oregon Coast Symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org.

The annual Polar Plunge is back!
New Year’s Day at 11:00 AM at Neahkahnie Beach
HOWEVER: This year, conditions are a bit different, so please read the following carefully.
Important Information for your safety:
KING TIDES: Water level is expected to reach 9.6 ft at plunge time. Please be aware!
BEACH TERRAIN: There will be logs and debris along the shore and floating in the water as the waves come in!
BONFIRE: No beach fire will be available this year, as any areas are too close to dune grass.
ACESS: Entry will most likely be from the road, as usable beach space may be limited.
Safety Reminder:
Participation carries inherent risks. Please take personal responsibility for your safety and of those around you!
Despite these precautions, the plunge is a fun and invigorating way to kick off the New Year! Come prepared, stay safe, and enjoy the experience.
“I’m sharing this out of concern to help keep everyone safe.”
P.S. YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT AND DO IT LATER IN THE DAY, IT WILL STILL COUNT 🙂

We’ve just passed the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. Come dance the energy of crossing a threshold. We are nearing the end of the Year of the Snake (Chinese astrology). Come dance the energy of a snake shedding its skin. We are nearing the end of a “9” year (Numerology 2+0+2+5) -known as a year of completion. Come dance the energy of going through a portal. What wants to, needs to, demands to, be left behind? The energy of endings, of walking through doorways that you can no longer return through, of karmic closure, of releasing, of sloughing off, of moving forward into your truest self and your truest purpose is everywhere right now. I am feeling this SO INTENSELY. You? Let us come together and help move it along. Let’s find what is stuck or numb or congealed in our bodies and loosen it, return it to flow and let it go. We are right on time.
